A subtrope of Amusing Injuries in which a burst of flame, explosion, or just crashing into a wall or tree instantly burns the feathers or fur off of something and magically turns it into a perfectly-cooked chicken or turkey, complete with bone drumsticks, or any other choice cut of meat. It's funnier if the victim isn't particularly avian in any way and it still looks chicken-like. Cousin Trope to Meat-O-Vision and, for heat applied to vegetables, see Popcorn on the Cob.

Most definitely this is not how things work in real life -- proper cooking requires carefully-controlled times and temperatures.

On the Tex Avery short "One Cab's Family", a speeding car hits a pig and a chicken, which land back as a plate of ham and eggs.

In Drol, shooting the flying turkey turns it into a nice roast.

In Devil World, Tamagon can breathe fire on the Faceless Eye to turn it into a tasty fried egg. (The Japanese term for fried egg literally means "fried eyeball.")

Any chicken, pig, or cow in Minecraft will become one or several cooked pieces of the appropriate meat if burned to death.

Your reply:

Five hats means that five tropers think it is ready to publish.

You are saying that you think this draft is ready to be published. That means the description is not ambiguous,
it doesn't duplicate an existing trope, there are at least three examples, and the title makes sense.

Is that what you meant to do?

You are saying this draft has a ready-to-publish hat it does not deserve and you are taking it back.
